Property Tax Cost of Bonds: If the Bonds are issued as planned (and without regard to the existing taxes currently paid for existing bonds that will reduce over time), a property tax sufficient to pay debt service on the Bonds will be required over a period of thirty (30) years in the estimated amount of $41.65 per year on a $319,900 residence and in the estimated amount of $75.73 per year on a business property having the same value.
